A suspected drunk driving crash has claimed the life of a teenage girl.

According to police, there were three people in the vehicle, and the victim was a passenger in the front seat. Police say the vehicle was traveling north on Bridgeport Benson Road at 2 a.m. when the driver lost control, left the roadway and hit a tree.

Police are asking for the public’s help identifying the body of a female who was found 32 years ago.

The victim was located on April 1, 1985 at a rural dumpsite alongside U.S. 25E in Knox County, in an area commonly known as Gilliam Hill. The body had been placed in an old refrigerator and an autopsy revealed she had been murdered.

Two Elkhorn City volunteer firefighters have been suspended without pay after a string of fires at abandoned houses in the area.

The fires have been happening since November, according to EKB. EKB reports that as the result of an investigation, the two suspects may be connected to a May 30th fire of abandoned residence within city limits.

“More than anything, this is just such a violation of someone’s privacy, this is their home,” said Detective Thomas. “This is somebody that works hard in our community. She was at her job, and she’s a good, upstanding person in the community.”

Detectives say that the man behind this break-in could be behind other break-ins and burglaries in the area around the same time.

After pleading guilty in March to leading a fraud scheme that cheated the government out of more than $500 million, Conn was sentenced to 12 years.

White said that Conn felt he had received an unfair sentence compared to the two federal judges who were also in on the scheme.

“And in my view, it’s a legitimate complaint. Is it a reason to run? No. It’s something you deal with at your own sentencing,” said White.

One week ago, White began receiving emails from a man claiming to be Conn, who was using foreign servers to correspond.

“The problem is I can’t communicate with him. I reply to those emails, of course, they bounce,” he said.

Conn’s conditions listed in those emails include for the FBI to publicly state Conn fled because he felt his sentence was unfair compared to the judges, that Conn is non-violent, that he will not be charged with any additional crimes, and to turn himself in to the Kentucky FBI Special Agent.

“Even though he did what he did, he has always been someone that has always done what he told me he was gonna do before,” White.

The emails did not indicate when exactly Conn will turn himself in.

There is a $20,000 reward for anyone who has information that leads to Conn’s arrest.

96 years. It’s how long “Some Mother’s Boy,” the only name he was known by in Scott County, waited to be identified.

Those words were written on the tombstone of a teen boy who was struck by a train on April 1, 1921. He rested there until NAMUS, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, decided to exhume the remains and solve one of Georgetown’s biggest mysteries. Progress has been made in the case and NAMUS believes that their John Doe is a young man missing from Pulaski County.

The FBI has recently started processing cases like these for free when it used to cost up to $7,000.

They are now ready to confirm his identity. The official announcement will come Thursday at his gravesite.

“Some Mother’s Boy” is expected to be identified as Frank A. Haynes, 17, of Bronston, Kentucky. According to officials with NAMUS, Haynes’ father had seen photos of the dead boy and attempted to identify him, but they had insufficient evidence to prove that the young man was his son.

Blood collected from Frank Haynes’ niece confirmed the family connection.

Parsons said he did not call police because he was freaking out. He say he took the loaded AR 15 to the house to sell to Nicely. He said that once Nicely had the rifle, he shot Wernicke.

“He was crazy, high on something. I couldn’t let him shoot me,” he said.

Parsons claims that he and Nicely were struggling for the gun when it went off.

In court on Tuesday, a state police detective testified that investigators found a tactical vest and four AR15 magazines in Parsons’ vehicle. A witness claims that days earlier, Parsons threatened to kill Denver Nicely, who Parsons said he had known for 15 years and was his best friend.

“I’m sorry this happened. I love them like my own kids and they know it,” was Parsons’ message to Nicely’s family.

A federal jury in Lexington has convicted three people from Nicholasville on numerous counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering.

The Department of Justice said that the evidence presented shows 70-year-old James Minton, 65-year-old Joyce Minton, and 43-year-old Aaron Brooke Warren conspired to defraud their employer, Clark Machine Tool and Die of Nicholasville.

A press release from the Department of Justice said that the criminal conspiracy took place from February 2000 through May 2016 and that it resulted in a loss in excess of $1,500,000.

The business was defrauded by using company checks and credit cards to purchase personal items, by cashing and keeping company petty cash checks, by issuing themselves extra paychecks, and by inflating their paychecks. The press release stated that they also kept money that customers had paid the company for work, converting those funds to their personal use.

Joyce Minton was the officer manager and bookkeeper for the company, her son Aaron Warren was the company’s shop supervisor, and her husband James Minton was a contractor.
